LPRng is the likely candidate. The stock BSD lpd shipped with most
Linux distributions is rather poor for use in any "real" environment.
LPRng includes various proper authentication options like Kerberos as
well as some of the more lax authentication methods...
I beleive LPRng is at www.astart.com, but don't quote me on that. The
proper URL is in the Printing HOWTO if that isn't it.

Dude! Chill out! Sometimes, the man pages aren't completely clear, or
don't help with the problem someone's having...and often, there' no man
page for that problem. Not to mention, some people have differant
thought
processes than the guy who wrote the man page..so lay off!
There's no reason to get nasty about it!
If you don't want to contribute, that's okay. If you do want to, please
do it nicely and don't scare people away..this newsgroup is here for
people to 'sponge free advice', you know. I bet you did the same, at
some point.
To your credit, after busting his balls, you did at least give him
an answer. Now just relax a little...It's okay. Really, everything will
be alright.
Any reason you haven't set up your newsreader correctly, Mr. Mailer?
Do you offer shell acounts on localhost.localdomain, your wonderfully

What things are setup in Network Configurator. What are the eth0
messages on boot and in the logs /var/log/messages?
What's in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
What does ifconfig eth0 report?

Generic info for RH 5.2. Assumption: you installed PPP.
===================================================================
RH puts ppp scripts in /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.5
Copy ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer, options to /etc/ppp.
BTW:I have copied /dev/null to options.
===================================================================
Modify ppp-on by editing the following:
TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT, PASSWORD
==================================================================
For exec command. put in correct device probably
cua1 (for RH5.2) and modem speed
===================================================================
Edit /etc/resolv.conf and put in ISP nameserver given you by your
ISP.
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
You usually get two from your isp.
====================================================================
execute ppp-on & and monitor logs with
tail -f /var/log/messages.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OR:
Control Pannel: Modem configuration. Select
correct device. (used in ppp-on script)
===================================================================
Control Pannel: Network Configurator: Routing: Defaults blank
PPP0 will use this so needs a blank here.
===================================================================
Network Configurator: Names: insert ISP
nameserver addresses.
===================================================================
System Configurator: PPP/SLIP/PLIP: Configurations, Add
Fill in Hardware, Communication. Assumes PAP not
required - If things do not work check with ISP.
==================================================================
Save quit. Verify /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP
addresses.
==================================================================
The linuxconf sets up most things but does not
setup the ppp-on script - that must be done by hand.
==================================================================
Testing:
cd /etc/ppp
execute ppp-on
Ping locally between your network machines to insure your ok.
Ping some net address by ip number like 10.220.10.120. Once ppp
is connected.
Verify your name server working, ping boston.com or do an
nslookup microsoft.com
When not dialed in ping someother box locally by name
to insure yor local resolution is working say if
done by the /etc/hosts and /etc/lmhosts.

I'm not sure about LCP timeouts. They can occur when the ISP is
down or PAP is required and you do not have it on your end. If
their supporting out of the box NT/98/95 then you can probably
get in with a generic PPP setup.

Subject: Ethernet Card Problem with Accton and SMC with slackware 2.2.2
Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 07:18:17 GMT
I'm having a bugger of a time trying to figure out what the problem is with
this slackware install. I have two ethernet cards (1 pci and 1 ISA) and a
video card (pci) in a slackware 2.2.2ac7 AMD 233 Box. The machine runs fine,
and the SMC Ultra ISA ethernet card runs great, as well as the Stealth 2500
Video card.
The problem comes with the Accton MPX card (PCI 10/100). It simply won't
be detected. I've tried compiling in support using modules or directly into
the kernel (according to the Ethernet-HOWTO it's fully NE2000 compatible).
I've tried editing conf.modules to alias it to eth0 and eth1.
Ultimately, I would have suspected that the boot process detects one card
and then quits, but I've tried adding append="ether=10,0x340,eth0 (my SMC
card) ether=0,0,eth1" to the lilo and still nothing. I've tried doing
modprobe ne manually and it never detects the pci card. I've tried adding
io=0xxxx and its still no good. I'm sure the card is installed correctly
hardware wise. I've booted into dos and used the setpci can detect the
interrupt (11) and memory location (0x6200). (which leads me to a separate
question... do all pci cards have such high memory locations? all the other
items (serial ports, other cards) are all between 0x000 and about 0x380)).
I'd really really appreciate if anyone could help me out with this!

Mat,
I don't have any real answer but the question has been
unanswered so I'll toss in some comments. On the asyncmap I can
only say reset the defaults and if that does not work query your
ISP and ask them if they are the cause. Do you have an MS disk
you can put on and try to get into the ISP with?

Well, I spend a few hours yesterday. It turns out that you cannot use
"rsh" as "root" to start a program on remote account for "root". So for PVM
I created a new user account which will be used to development of PVM
programs.
And I also missed the correct .rhosts configuration (is there a global
rhosts file or is this a user-level security?).
